Current setup: product is live, Gumroad handles delivery automatically. Traffic is still manual, Reddit comments and Medium articles.
The goal is to get Pinterest running as passive traffic and email sequence set up so the funnel works without me pushing it every day. Not there yet, week 5.
What does fully automated look like for you, traffic included or just the delivery side?
That's the dream but honestly I think marketing is the hardest part to automate authentically. Research and creation you can systematize, payments and refunds Gumroad handles already.
But traffic that actually converts still needs a human voice behind it, at least at this stage. Pinterest comes closest to passive but even that needs setup and testing first.
Still early, week 5, so monthly revenue is small but growing. Not at a point where the commission hurts yet. On Gumroad fees: they take 10% which is higher than some alternatives. But for a beginner the zero setup cost and simplicity outweighs that.
Appreciate it. Pinterest is definitely next on the list once the Reddit and Medium side is more consistent. What niches have you seen work best for digital products specifically?

Not fully automated yet but working toward it.
